I don't this this fix is correct, I am able to reproduce the crash in a hyper-v VM and this generates a different KASAN bad free with the repro case.
If you want to test (and have an environment with an SRIOV interface), you can toggle SRIOV rapidly with this powershell snippet: $vmname= 'name of vm' while (1){ Set-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName $vmname -IovWeight 100 Set-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName $vmname -IovWeight 0 } -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973758 Title: Azure: Mellanox VF NIC crashes when removed Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-azure source package in Focal: In Progress Bug description: SRU Justification [Impact] The 5.4.0-1075-azure and newer kernels are broken in that the VM can easily panic when the Mellanox VF NIC is removed and added due to Azure host servicing events or the below manual "unbind/bind" test (here the GUID can be different in different VMs): for i in `seq 1 1000`; do cd /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hv_pci; echo abdc2107-402e-4704-8c88-c2b850696c3c > unbind; echo abdc2107-402e-4704-8c88-c2b850696c3c > bind; done A sample panic call-trace is: [ 107.359954] kernel BUG at /build/linux-azure-5.4-4I3kFs/linux-azure-5.4-5.4.0/mm/slub.c:4020!
